Ballet

Ballet is the core curriculum and all students take ballet.  Rejoice is proud to use the American Ballet Theatre Curriculum and has a 100 percent pass rate on ABT exams. Depending upon their level, students take from one to 15 hours of dance each week.  Classes run from August through May.  In May, there is a recital that showcases all students. Students also take exams each year that demonstrate their progress from year to year.

Pre-Professional Program

After a student has taken two years of ballet, and is at least 8-years-old, they may audition for our Pre-Professional Track. This track is designed for dancers who would like to take more than one or two hours of recreational dance classes a week. These students take between six and 15 hours of class a week. In addition to ballet, they take classes in modern, tap and Pilates.

Summer Intensive

Rejoice offers a summer intensive with instruction from professional dancers from companies including Nashville Ballet and Dayton Ballet .

Performances

Each year, our dancers stage a spring showcase and a classical ballet. Past shows include Coppelia, La Sylphide, Les Sylphides, Peter and the Wolf, La Fille Mal Gardee, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. In 2018 Rejoice dancers performed "Saam Psalms: Together Songs," an original ballet exploring the history of slavery and racism.
